Just fascinating

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2006)

I have seen this movie many times. Today without even knowing I turned on my television and the movie was just starting. I cannot think of a more fascinating movie than this. The music is beautiful, the story makes you wander into time and into the Pianist's mind. A whole world turns around him as the center of his universe. He does not need to go out and look around for an identity. Why should he go out into the real life when the world comes to him? I cannot think of a better actor to portray this character. The sad look in his eyes gives credibility to what he does. The "girl" Melanie Thierry is as beautiful as they come. Her peacefully wild looks make her an unforgettable player in this movie. Regardless of the technical deficiencies, the plot itself is so strong, that you cannot but get inside the story and follow it throughout the duration of the film. I recommend this picture as a must see for anyone that is sensible to life itself
